On Sunday William and I went on an all day coach ride (as if he has not spent enough time being a passenger) on the ‘Dune Rider’ to Cape Reinga at the north of north Island where the Tasman and Pacific meet and we were so lucky to be there when the conditions allowed a really clear ‘join’... see pics........
The Cape is at the northern tip of North Island.So we have travelled from almost the farthest Southern spot in South Island to the very very top of the North...It is at this point has a great spiritual significance to the Maori who believe on death that their spirits travel up to this point where there is a tree growing out from the side of rocks which release their spirits to the otherworld.
On the way we visited an old gum digging station. These guys dug up old Kauri trees sunk in peat bog to extract the old sap which was made into amber which was used in linoleum and varnish (all in a days work)
The four wheel drive coach is especially designed for max comfort but most importantly can cruise down 90 Mile Beach and its massive sand dunes... the highlight of this particular trip..
Will and I also did sand boarding down some of the largest dunes in the world of about 100 meters, bit of a clamber to the top but fab fun coming down again...despite the face full of sand en-route !
William got up quite a speed on the first go and got in a full run whereas I managed a sideways skid and ended up full face bomb into the sand ....
But by the third attempt I mastered it... good for the leg muscles - but think Valerie and Lowenna might have requested a chairlift be installed !
90 Mile Beach is actually 70 miles end to end and quite amazing to travel down on the coach .... a sort of mirage effect out of the front windscreen of the coach gave a surreal effect and it really cannot be put in words..... we passed wild horses which are a legacy from the gum digging days... and the sand and surf and endless horizon of the same was a fantastic experience and one Will and I both agreed we wouldn’t have wanted to miss...despite being a very long day..
Valerie and Lowenna opted for a quieter morning and a ride in the forest in the afternoon, as they couldn’t really face the nearly 500km round trip in the coach....
but apparantly they did get up at a reasonable time ( or so they said) did some scrap booking, diary writing and sticking and stuff , as all that seems to have got a bit behind as we have kept up the pace of travelling... and generally chilled out for the morning .The girls also had fun on their ride, if a bit ploddy, but nice scenery and horses !
You should see how my pal Wesley Virgin's adventure begins in this SHOCKING and controversial VIDEO.
ReplyDeleteWesley was in the military-and soon after leaving-he discovered hidden, "mind control" secrets that the government and others used to get anything they want.
These are the same secrets tons of celebrities (especially those who "come out of nothing") and elite business people used to become rich and famous.
You probably know that you only use 10% of your brain.
Mostly, that's because the majority of your brain's power is UNCONSCIOUS.
Maybe that expression has even occurred INSIDE OF YOUR own mind... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's mind 7 years back, while driving an unlicensed, beat-up trash bucket of a car without a license and $3.20 on his bank card.
"I'm absolutely frustrated with going through life check to check! When will I finally make it?"
You've taken part in those questions, isn't it right?
Your success story is waiting to happen. You just have to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
